We say…

The Mint Leaf is an excellent Indian restaurant located just outside of Newark in Nottinghamshire. It’s a popular destination with those wanting to pop near the town for a great meal, but don’t quite fancy the crowds, difficult parking and busy nightlife of the town centre. It’s located just off the A1 and A46, so couldn’t be easier to get to if you live in the surrounding area, and has plenty of private parking available. For any visitors to Newark Air Museum, Beacon Hill conservations parks, or Stapleford Wood, it’s the perfect way to round off a busy day with a spot of lunch or dinner.

The restaurant prides itself on its take on Indian cuisine, which is reflected in the modern, clean dining space with plenty of spacious table settings for large and small groups. You’ll feel welcomed by the pristine white tablecloths, fresh flowers, and of course the supreme customer service. This airy venue is ideal for family gatherings, or a casual meal with friends, and despite its popularity it always maintains a calm and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant offers full disabled access, and often caters for private events and weddings, seating up to 120 guests.

Dining at the Mint Leaf will please everyone in your group, as there’s plenty to choose from for diners young and old, from the fussier eaters to the adventurous. Try the garlicy king prawns to start, or sample to delicately flavoured mixed platters of starters between your table – this way you get to try a little of everything the restaurant has to offer. Once you’ve whetted your appetite, try the signatur Indian take on duck a l’orange, this spicy marinated, char-grilled dish is served with honey and orange zest, making it a memorable mix of Eastern and Indian flavours. We would also recommend the paneer kebabs, served on skewers and great for those who want to try a vegetarian option in the area. Make sure to order plenty of fluffy, golden naan bread and chappatis to go alongside, as well as some of the beautiful side dishes on offer.

The Mint Leaf is a great destination for those seeking something special outside of Newark town centre, so make sure you stop by to discover this local favourite.
